Attendance? how empty was it?
 

I have the flu and slept most of the game, but saw the last 5 minutes and it looked really empty.

I know it was dog azz cold

but what was the estimated high number in attendance?

1 more carl peterson than there will ever be again.... the only important number

17 not thousand, 17 :)

There were 5 of us in my section

Pretty sure I saw a couple of people walk in and check it out.

more than will go to a dome game
in St Louis

Pam, no offense, but you
are FOS..go away.

What's the capacity of the lower bowl, 30-35,000? I'd guess you could have fit everyone in the lower bowl, and there may have only been 25,000 left after halftime.

The sun was in our face the entire game and we were in the lower bowl, so I didn't think it was that bad... outside of the stadium sucked because of the wind, but we stayed for the whole game.

I was impressed with the turnout considering our record and the cold. It was a good showing by the fans.
even though I hated the outcome, it was a fun game to attend.

Did you meet anybody?

I loved the sign that said Carl Free on the upper level. There was another one down by where I was sitting that said Thanks Carl for 10 good years.

Met up with Luv and Papasmurf. Also met J Diddy. Never got to see OTW58 and coffey though regrettably. guess they left Luv's tailgate literally minutes before we arrived.

lol wish the cameras would of showed that. stupid media has king Carl as some sort of beloved GM :cuss:

didn't see that but the FIRE HERM sign was nice

:rolleyes:

It looked really empty the entire game, but it was definitely worse towards the end.

Like your head during final jeopardy.

Hard to believe... We were still in the game up until Miami last drive...
Where is the faith?

posted this in the game thread

I had pre-game sideline passes so I made my kids go. I tried to get them to stay through halftime and we didn't make it till the end of the first quarter. Lot's of other folks bailing as well.

Uh, were you there? I was. Going into the last 5 minutes of the game I didn't see very many people leaving.

I was impressed with our crowd today.

it is really sad to see

The staff was going around the upper level and telling people to move to the lower level during the whole game.

7 degrees. Windy. 2-12.

What the hell were you expecting to see. That was a good turnout considering the variables in play. AND this crowd represented themselves well. They were loud when they needed to be.

Makes the Zapruder film look like Blu-Ray.

F 'em tell 'em to buy you out to move down.

the more pathetic our stadium looks the better.

Wermhead should have been working the frosty malt concession. ROFL
It looked almost empty at the end.

Actually, I do believe they were trying to empty the upper level so they wouldn't have to have the concessions open.

why do you have to focus on the negative?

GoChiefs is shaking.

"THIS, is what home field advantage looks like."

Not QUITE as bad as the 80's, but getting there.

30 to 35 thousand. Kind of like being at a big Royals game. It was so freaking cold, kept pretty warm we left after the last Miami touchdown. I had enough of the cold by then.

That cold started to really bite into you near the end of the third qtr.:eek:

I couldn't imagine being in the upper level. The wind was horrible on the field can't imagine what it would be like up top.

Yeah that is when it hit. The wind was the killer.

The brief time I was up there the wind really wasn't that bad. I think we were just in the right spot that the wind just missed it. heh

We moved down to the lower level though because we were on the shady side of the upper level.

Normally the lower level is worse. Wind circles down there. Really wasnt that bad in the upper deck.

oh that freakin figures. Yeah, we headed back to the car for a quick warm up and one more redbull and whiskey before going in. The cooking there smelled awesome.

Was dissappointed I missed ya by minutes. Tried to call OTW later but I couldn't hear shit on my phone so I gave up.

there was a sign near us that read;

"Christmas list;
( ) new RV
( ) new Boat
( ) new Motorcycle
(x) new GM"

The staff took it from him and the whole section booed him for taking it away too....

The phones were buried under several layers of clothing. No getting those out.

Sorry I missed meeting you again, one of these days

Very, very similar.

Seriously? That's lame.

I made a sign for carl

it was at my computer

it looked

something

like this

nlm

Well, the Chiefs showed some class by doing that.

Outside of safety considerations, one would think management probably wanted it to look better on television. :D

Why the hell would they take that sign away?

I'll be rolling through St. Louis this summer. Maybe then.

...

I find it sad that the Chiefs fans are doing this, they have never done that before.

The Chargers fans have filled Qualcomm every game this season, Even when they fell to 4-8 against Atlanta.

You'd think it'd be the other way around.

It had to be done... It was forced on us in 2006, and each game it slowly began to die off...

Give us a real NFL GM and coach and it will fill up quickly...

I don't know
it was 57 and raining in Qualcomm once

I think that most fans actually stayed until Thigpen slipped and failed to get the first down.

That's for sure. I was at the game in St. Louis today. Many times I said, "I'm really glad I'm not at Arrowhead today" but the game would have been a helluva lot more entertaining. The attendance was abysmal, too.

This is after the game started. That's how empty it was. Should have seen it later.

That's when I started to leave

bull****. If the chargers were 2-12 and it was 5* out, Qualcomm would be empty. You guys needed an extension to sell out on a warm, sunny day. It was the second coldest game in the history of Arrowhead.

Basically, by the end, the shaded areas of the stadium were empty and the sunny areas were full. We were dying in the club level in the shade, but at halftime we moved down to the visitors side lower level and it was much better.

I went, stayed for the whole game.. our seats had pretty much no wind luckily.
I thought it was a decent game.. Second half was a bit uncomfortable in every way. lol
I really thought there would be LESS people there, considering the weather and our record. Had a blast as usual.. Arrowhead is awesome. Did anyone else catch that dude getting carried out after an altercation in the lower level around section 131.. fool did NOT want to get ejected.

Guru speaks the truth; of this I can vouch.

Same here.

Heh, they didn't have to tell me twice.
